			By default Open Groups lives on your desktop as a desktop widget. You can double click on the widget to maximize the application and restore it to widget form. Alternatively you may also use the orange window button provided to the right of the widget to do so. The red window button closes Open Groups, whilst the green window button minimizes the application.
			<br/><br/>
			Once logged in you can customize the look of you widget by choosing a new one from the Open Groups widget library as discussed in section 5.4 on <a href="5.html">Changing your user avatar</a>.
